The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 314 The Holiday

After hugging Susan, George side-eyed Oliver. "You saw it? Parting hug. Do you have one?"

Oliver was speechless, quickly staring at Susan with a kicked puppy look.

Unable to resist him, Susan gave him a light hug as well.

Oliver bloomed like a child who got his candies instantly as he looked over to George. "I counted the time just now. Susie hugged me for a second longer." George was upset, turning to look pitifully at Susan again.

"Enough, both of you. Out, right now." Having enough of them, Luna spoke up to chase them away.

It was only then that the father and son left reluctantly.

"Aha, the two noisy ones are finally gone." Anna hooked arms with Susan, grinning. "Susie, you must be annoyed with them, yeah?"

"No." Susan smiled. "Marshal Wright's a little... different from what I imagined."

"Hah, don't look at his tough and serious face on TV. He's a softie at home. Once Mom glares at him, he won't dare to say another word," Anna chuckled. Susan smiled at that, feeling more relaxed.

Before she met said pair of parents, she was scared of them being stringent and rigid. She would feel immensely oppressed then. After spending time with them, however, she realized that they were no different from other parents at home no matter how lofty their statuses were outside.

As things went, Luna and Anna stayed with Susan.

Susan was a little uncomfortable with their passion and love in the beginning, but she got used to it eventually.

The holiday came in the blink of an eye. As Susan was not fit to move around, George and Oliver rushed over to the Shaws once more, planning to spend the holiday with the family.

"Your Pawpaw Clark was coming too, but he's too old. We dare not make him travel too much, so we have him waiting at home," George said. "Serenity was coming too when she knew we found you but she's worried about Pawpaw, so she stayed home to keep him company."

"Good that she's not here." Anna stuck out her tongue.

"What are you saying?" George gave her a glare. He could not understand why Serenity and Anna could never get along.

"Humph," Anna snorted and said nothing else.

Susan could not help but chuckle before she said,"

Yeah, it's better for elders to not travel so far so much. I'll pay him and Serenity a visit after I give birth."

George grew fonder of Susan the more he looked at her. Ah, his daughter was really good and adorable.

"Speaking of which, Serene is the same age as you. Her birthday is only three days earlier than yours. She's a good girl too, you'll probably get along with her," George supplied.

Susan nodded while Anna hooked arms with her." Susie, don't be bothered with Serenity. She's annoying."

"You're annoying." George glared at her again. "Tell us, what did Serene do? Why don't you like her?"

"She says that I'm a shorty," Anna complained, "I'm 160cm! That's not very short!"

"Serene's just joking," George butted in.

"She calls me a bean sprout! Says I have a flat figure!" Anna was riled. "She's just too much!"

Luna rolled her eyes and patted the back of Susan's hand. "Susie, Serene's sometimes quite... sharp with her tongue. But she's a good kid. Anna and she are just throwing tantrums."

"What tantrums. I hate her!" Anna huffed.

Looking at her childish side, Susan grinned.

"Jacob, you be the judge." Seeing that no one supported her, Anna went to Jacob. "Don't you think

Serenity's annoying?" 2

Jacob took a glance at her before answering rationally, "Someone being annoying or not is an objective view. I can't provide you with an answer."

Anna sprang up in fumes.

While the house was bubbling with chatter and chuckles, the porter called to inform that Madam Shaw was here.

It was a holiday for families to spend time together anyway. Julian and Susan were supposed to spend it a t the family mansion, but Madam Shaw had suggested for herself to come over to them this year instead of making Susie take the trip.

When Madam Shaw entered the house, the merriness was what greeted her. She could not help being startled before a frown folded between her brows.

"This is Madam Shaw, yes? Nice to meet you." Luna stood up quickly when she saw the woman.

Scanning the people in the common area, there was a hint of skepticism in Madam Shaw's eyes before she pulled Julian aside.

"Julian, what's going on? Who are these people?" Madam Shaw asked in a whisper.

She thought that she was being soft, but George's sense of hearing was much better than most people. H e automatically replied, "Madam Shaw, I'm Susie's father...'s side relatives."

He wanted to say father, but remembering that Susie had not officially acknowledged their ties, he took a sharp turn in his words.

"Yes, we're Susie's relatives. Nice to see you, Madam Shaw," Luna said with a smile.

Madam Shaw narrowed her eyes. She had thought that they were some upper-class guests as she noticed the natural grace they exuded, yet they turned out to be Susan's relatives?

She knew about Susan's family background. They were all poor people. What nice relatives would she have?

Madam Shaw's gaze was derisive then. These people were rather good at putting up a fagade. One glance at them made her assume that they were some important people, but who knew if they were laboring somewhere?

"Nice to meet you," Madam Shaw replied faintly. "You guys are here to visit Susie? Let's have dinner together since you're here."

"We thank Madam Shaw in advance then." Lune agreed heartily.

With a nod, Madam Shaw went to sit beside Susan." How do you feel recently, Susie?"

"Not too bad. Thank you for your concern, Mom," Susan said politely.

"Take the rest you should be taking. You should see your relatives coming to visit for no reason less," Madam Shaw warned, "You're Mrs. Shaw now. Everyone wants a piece of something from you. If you take each person in, they'll only grow in numbers next. You can't give in to your relatives. The more you do, the greedier they'll get." 2

Madam Shaw had said what she did in front of the Wrights, the family looking alarmed from it. However, since she was Julian's mother, even Anna who was the least composed out of them did not say anything. She only pulled a long face.

"Mom." Julian was going to speak up with a frown, but George was already making his reply with a chortle." Madam Shaw's concern is very valid. Don't you worry though, we're still good with what we make. We won't ask Susie for anything."

George was usually known for his ill-temper, but considering the fact that Madam Shaw was Susie's mother-in-law, he held up very well for his daughter.
